Curious, has anyone had an interaction with the recruiting firm Harvey Nash? This morning I received a LinkedIn inquiry about a contract at Dropbox. The person called me, asked some odd questions (including the last 4 of my social so she could set up my contractor profile, which I did not give). I sent back a bunch of questions after looking online and seeing some sketchy reviews. But I was curious if anyone else has had interactions with this company (and/or warn people that this may be a scam). Any input is welcome!

Ah this is interesting! A former colleague invited me to this group so I could consult others on the same thing - a customer marketing manager position at Dropbox. But the recruiting firm I was contacted by was called Amiseq. It all felt so weird. I would guess this is a fake position.

@Bree Bunzel any thoughts on this?

@Chris Wilcox was it a 7 month gig too?

Chris Wilcox January 10, 2024 at 11:25 PM

It's listed as an 8 month contract role. I can screenshot the email

@Stephanie Murphy Is this similar to what you received?

My version only had the bottom two sections, word for word. The person I spoke with seems hyper focused on if I knew how to use slack. For a CMM role that seems like a pretty low priority requirement. We’ll see if she gets back to me.

Haha yeah it does. Let me know what you hear back @Stephanie Murphy. I've been hesitant to reply back to the recruiter with my resume

Hi all - thank you for flagging, this is so odd. We do have two contract roles out, but it's through our recruiting firm Magnit global. These other names are not familiar. Let me follow up with the agency and get back to you all asap.
